Karrie's journey into the world of metal art is a testament to
the unexpected turns that life can take. While she's no stranger to the world of entrepreneurship, her foray into metalwork was a stroke of chance. With little knowledge of welding or metal equipment, Karrie took it upon herself to learn the craft through trial and error. That moment of self discovery, when she mastered tack welding, marked the turning point. What started as a small hobby has blossomed into Cut-N-Rust, a thriving metal business.

For Karrie, the art of crafting metal Forever Flowers is more than a passion; it's a calling. Her background in floral arranging has seamlessly melded with her talent for metalwork and love for vintage “junk”, resulting in a delightful alternative to traditional floral bouquets.

Karrie's inclination towards repurposing and her knack for combining old and new materials adds a layer of depth to her creations. It's heartwarming to witness her husband's transformation from skeptic to enthusiastic collaborator, eagerly seeking out "rusty junk" for their projects.

The range of flowers Karrie has brought to life features roses, daffodils, pansies, tulips, and an array of other captivating blossoms. Among these, the Daisy holds a special place in her heart, being the very first flower she created. Its popularity among clients is a testament to its enduring charm.

Looking forward, Karrie is excited to venture into crafting even more varieties of flowers, each with its own unique story to tell as well as hunting for the next exciting “junk find”. What's most gratifying for her is knowing that every piece she creates brings joy and cherished memories to her clients.

In the end, Karrie's story is a testament to the incredible power of creativity. It shows how an ordinary person with a creative spark can transform into an accomplished metal artist. Her deepest hope is that every client finds in her creations a piece that they hold dear, one that will bring them happiness for years to come.
